Margaret Lane <br /> PO Box 8181 <br /> Hillsborough, NC 27278 <br /> Reference: Proposal for Geotechnical Services and Phase I ESA <br /> Environment &Agriculture Center <br /> 306 Revere Road <br /> Hillsborough, Orange County, North Carolina <br /> ECS Proposal Number 06:19464 and 06:19465 <br /> Dear Mr.Thompson: <br /> ECS Carolinas, LLP (ECS) appreciates this opportunity to provide Orange County Asset Management & <br /> Purchasing with general guidelines and a fee estimate for performing Geotechnical Services and a Phase <br /> I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) for the above-referenced property. This proposal contains a <br /> summary of relevant information as ECS understands it, a project schedule and the estimated costs for <br /> completion of the proposed work. <br /> PROJECT UNDERSTANDING <br /> ECS understands the subject property is planned to be developed with a new Environment &Agriculture <br /> Center. The site (PIN# 9864896332) is located at 306 Revere Road in Hillsborough, Orange County, <br /> North Carolina. Based on review of the Orange County GIS website and local aerial photos, the 3.84- <br /> acre site consists of one parcel and currently contains an existing structure and a combination of asphalt <br /> paved and gravel parking areas and drive lanes. ECS understands that the existing structure was <br /> originally constructed in 1960 for use as a grocery store, and subsequently renovated in 1987 for <br /> occupancy by the county and currently serves as the Orange County Environmental & Agriculture <br /> Center. The footprint of the new structure is planned to correspond roughly with the footprint of the <br /> existing structure. ECS understands that geotechnical services and a Phase I Environmental Site <br /> Assessment are requested for this site. <br /> SCOPE OF SERVICES <br /> Geotechnical Services <br /> The purpose of this exploration is to determine the site subsurface conditions and provide geotechnical <br /> recommendations for foundation systems and site grading procedures for construction of the proposed <br /> structure. To accomplish this, ECS proposes to explore the site with soil test borings as described below. <br /> This information should be used by design engineers and architects for the above-referenced project to <br /> formulate the individual component designs. <br /> Field Exploration and Laboratory Services <br /> ECS' services will include drilling a total of nine (9) exploratory soil test borings to depths of 10 to 50 feet <br /> below the existing ground surface or auger refusal, testing of the recovered samples, as required, and <br /> preparing an engineering report. One (1) boring will be advanced to a depth of 50 feet below existing <br /> ground surface or auger refusal for seismic site classification purposes and four (4) borings will be <br /> 9001 Glenwood Avenue, Raleigh, INC • 27617-7505 • T: 919-861-9910 • F: 919-861-9911 • www.ecslimited.com <br /> ECS Capitol Services,PLLC • ECS Carolinas,LLP• ECS Central,PLLC • ECS Florida,LLC • ECS Mid-Atlantic,LLC • ECS Midwest,LLC • ECS Southeast,LLC • ECS Texas,LLP <br />
